This is a reply to a series of messages from more than a week ago. I am not sure if this was addressed because I do not see the entire thread.

Clarification: You can't create a new one because it exists OR EXISTED. If at any time in Gmail's history, account "yourname" existed, even for only 1 minute, you cannot create a new account by that name (with or without dots). Google doesn't recycle old usernames, ever, as far as we know. So there is no "problem" for you to report to Google, other than the fact that their policy prevents you from doing what you wanted to do. If you can prove without any doubt that you created the earlier account, MAYBE they can help you get it back. Or maybe not, if it has been a long time. The situation with the dots has changed since 2006. It is no longer necessary to use them when you login to your account.
